We developed a spectrally selective 3D non-Cartesian FLORET
pulse sequence to map phosphorus-containing metabolites in the human tissue. In
particular, through this highly efficient pulse sequence we mapped
phosphocreatine and γ-adenosine triphosphate at
1.4 cm isotropic nominal voxel size in the human brain. In addition, we were
able to map phosphocreatine in the skeletal muscle during exercise and recovery
with 6 s temporal resolution. We showed that spectrally selective 3D-FLORET is
an efficient pulse sequence that can be used to image 31P-containing
metabolites in the human tissue when high spatiotemporal resolution is needed.
